Pissed at original owner!!

goddamnit, why cant people just use a ****ing wire harness adapter...i had to pay 60 ****ing bucks to get my new deck installed because the idiot who owned the car before me hacked up the inside of my dash. Goddamnit, i hate having to pay for stuff like that when it couldve been as simple as a 10 minute job for me

You know what's really fun? When the stock wires are so frigged up you need to cut them and start over. Then you're dealing with wires that are so short that you have to do everything IN the dashboard.

i dont mean to split hairs here but,

if you say this could have been a 10 minute job for you, why didnt u go buy the harness and re-wire the deck yourself?

i also noticed yer from pleasanton, i live in livermore, what place did u go to get it installed?

Daniel, It couldve been a 10 minute job if i the inside wouldnt have been so hacked up. They had so many wires in there, i didnt even want to mess with it. Once i took the radio out and saw how horribly screwed up my wires were on the inside, i said id rather pay the 60 bucks then deal with that myself. I took it to ultimate car toys in dublin. Heard some good things about them, did a good job on installing my new deck, although they lost my faceplate case and havent been to prompt in calling me back about it.
